 Blue legged hermits and astrea snails, will they survive ?! ! ? I have recently cycled my LR and LS. I added a small clean up crew to my 29g, and they went to work on the small amount of algae on the rocks. Now the algae is gone, and the tank is spotless. I have not been able to get the first fish I want to add from my LFS, so there is nothing in the tank but the LR, LS, and my CUC. Should I be worried that there is no visible algae or detritus for them to feed on ? Should I toss in some fish flakes so that there is at least something in there for them ? Any advice would be great ! Thanks  |

| Re: Blue legged hermits and astrea snails, will they survive ?! ! ? They should be able to survive just fine without feeding the tank, however, I like to feed a fishless tank some food anyway so that the tank has more bacteria present. This way, when fish are added, the ammonia-nitrite-nitrate spikes will remain minimal.

| Re: Blue legged hermits and astrea snails, will they survive ?! ! ? Thank you kindly ! They do seem to be happy, it just amazes me because I can't imagine what they are eating. I think I will take your advice on a little bit of tank feeding, need to get a good bacteria population going. |
